The driver of the Chrysler was standing outside of his vehicle, filling it with gas. Police said that's when a Toyota Tundra pickup truck traveling westbound on the freeway hit the man.

The crash pushed the man forward into the back of the second vehicle parked in front of the Chrysler, according to police.

Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene. Police have not released his identity.

The driver of the second vehicle pulled over on the freeway was not injured, police said.

Investigators determined that the driver of the Tundra, later identified as Juarez, was impaired. He was arrested at the scene and charged.

According to court documents, Juarez posted his $50,000 bond. He was scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
